Overcoming Pain

Hello.
How's things going?
It's nice to have the sunshine out and everything is brighter.
Today I want to talk about overcoming pain.
And what that means.
We seem to have so many memories, some of them lovely, and memorable.
And others not so.
Over coming pain, there's no real quick fix thing out there to over come it.
We might turn to drugs,  binge drinking, and sex, that's because we have a nature that goes after our own desires.
If  we focus on good things, then our mind will be good.
Good things do take time, and you can't rush the grief, you can't have a wand waved over you and make it go away.
Because we are so dependent on that person, and that's love.
And it's sad because no matter what you can do, that person or thing makes his or her own way, to heaven.

Over coming pain, is incredibly hard, because you can be fine one day, you can even be laughing, then something like a scent or smell, or just that time of day, that you remember you'd do that thing with that person, or thing, and then suddenly that person or pet isn't there.
It's hard to accept sometimes, and when you're effected by grief or pain, it takes some time to label it, to see it for what it is, and to start to move on.

You can become depressed for a time, you can loose the joy of things, if you enjoyed the garden or other things, or catching up with people, and you just want to hide, that's fine, because that part of grief.
Have some people who come around you, to just love you for they are, just take the good times, as good times, you don't have to pay them back they are your true friends.
True friends, care for you, and stand side by side through think and thin, they don't have to be super men or women, they can be just simple humble people, who just love giving you hugs, if you're the huggy sort or just a catch up, when you just are tired of seeing people.
There are people out there who are light houses in the darkest of nights, to be there when the pain is hard.
We're not alone, with this, we have our guide to guide us through the pain, you see, the disciples were around Jesus all the time, they shared wonderful times with him, and probably talked about all sorts of different things, they had him in the flesh.
However Jesus had to die, and they had to go through grief.
Jesus, promised them, that all of them will go through some sort of pain.

So no matter what you're doing today, know that God is the God of pain, rather a healer of pain.
